Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your show.
How long is your presentation?
Our regular show is 60 minutes long. However, the show length can be adjusted up or down to fit your schedule and needs — just let us know when you book.
How many animals do you bring?
We bring 7–8 different animals to each show — sometimes even more! Our roster includes black throat monitors, tarantulas, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, Sulcata tortoises, African bullfrogs, ball pythons, alligators, bearded dragons, Burmese pythons, and more.
How far will you travel?
We're willing to drive a few hours to perform a show. We're based in the Chicagoland area and serve all of northern Illinois. For locations farther from our home area, we do charge a modest gas fee — we'll let you know upfront.
Do you carry liability insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured and happy to provide proof of insurance to any school, library, park district, or individual who requests it. Just ask when you book.
Can there be a crowd too large or too small?
Nope! We've done shows for groups of 6 kids and for 450+ kids — both are great in their own way. We bring a full sound system to every show so the entire audience can always hear us, no matter the size of the room.
Will your show entertain adults too, not just kids?
Absolutely. We work in plenty of clean adult humor that has parents and chaperones laughing right alongside the kids. The show is genuinely fun for everyone in the room — it's not just a "kid thing."
Do you need a deposit? What payment do you accept?
No deposit required. We completely understand that life happens — if you need to reschedule or cancel because the birthday kid is sick or there's a family emergency, we would never want you to lose a deposit.
Payment is due on the day of the show. We accept cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle.
How much does a show cost?
Pricing depends on the type of show and how far we have to travel. The best way to get an accurate quote is to give us a call at (847) 341-6624 or send us a message.
If you want more than one show, we offer great package deals.
Do you prefer shows inside or outside?
If the weather is above 70°F and below 90°F, outside is ideal. Above 90°F we can still perform outdoors, but we'll need a shaded area for the animals' comfort.
Inside works great too — we do shows in family rooms, garages, and even school cafeterias all the time. We try to avoid basements when possible (big crates + stairs), but if that's the only option, we'll make it work. We always bring a tarp to protect your floors.
